More and more I am seeing web site and apps go from nice graphics to very low graphics that need little bandwidth.<br />
Curse recently moved Curseforge.com to this format.. and from what I see it is not an improvement.<br />
Before I could look at Translation activity and see if I needed to export new translations for any of the supported languages.<br />
Now it appears I have to go to each language to see if there has been any new translation work.. what a bother.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42280#42280bringoutyourdeadThu Nov 17, 2016 12:39 pmhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42280#42280When and how Census data is displayed in CensusPlus windowhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42279#42279

Just to confirm this, I'm sure I heard it mentioned at Blizzcon that they're looking at another round of connections in the relatively near future. <br />
<br />
Shame they can't do some splits too (it's obviously impractical as it'll separate friends), as my own realm is ridiculous in size now; at least they solved lag and overcrowding with the sharding tech to phase us apart, but there's not really a community when you never see the same person twice, there's no familiar names or anything nowadays <img src="images/smiles/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" border="0" />http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42279#42279BalgairThu Nov 10, 2016 3:12 amhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42279#42279Census display here on site.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42277#42277

The first batch of level 20's that have not been seen since mid 2010 have finally been purged.<br />
<br />
Almost 718,000 dead characters were removed, while at the same time around 1.5 million new characters were added.<br />
<br />
the 2nd pass where level 20 (and below {if any are left}) characters that have not been seen since before the last Mists of Pandaria patch, and who appear to never have been in a guild (a good sign these were abandoned start account characters), has started.<br />
<br />
There may be a 3rd pass, depending on Blizzards next announcement for name reclaiming.<br />
<br />
The now over 299 million history records will soon start shrinking as we start clearing out zombie records for characterIDs that no longer exist.<br />
<br />
I figured out fairly quickly how to clear out all those dead records... but since I do not want to lock users out of the site for minutes to hours at a time.. it took a bit of work to come up with a viable solution.<br />
<br />
Starting later this week or next week, you will start to see the history record number start to shrink, slowly.<br />
I expect the full first pass on this to take as much as 45 days.<br />
<br />
Since this is just to remove worthless records from the table, no valid characters will see any reduction in their history information.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42277#42277bringoutyourdeadWed Nov 02, 2016 5:19 pmhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42277#42277World of Warcraft V7.1 is live.. but CensusPlus not updatedhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42275#42275

Sorry, just didn't think about needing an update..<br />
enable out of date addons checkbox<br />
and CensusPlus works fine with 7.1<br />
<br />
I will have time this weekend to work on a new version of CensusPlus.<br />
<br />
At a minimum it will only be a version and TOC update so it isn't considered out of date by the client.<br />
I think there may be some localization updates to merge in...<br />
and there may be something else.. I will need to check release version against the developmental version I have in test.<br />

I would agree with you... which is why I have prevailed upon Metalbeast to stop using that procedure.. which was manual anyway.<br />
<br />
If you look at characters from active playing uploaders, you will see that the 5/0 level purge stopped some time ago.<br />
<br />
As noted.. hmm. I forget where... I will edit this message with a pointer to that thread.<br />
<br />
Edit: see 2nd message of thread <a href="http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42266&amp;highlight=#42266" target="_blank">http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42266&amp;highlight=#42266</a><br />
<br />
I forget what the date was for the last 5/0 process but I think it was early 2014.<br />
Edit2: make that early 2015, based upon one of my posts.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42274#42274bringoutyourdeadSat Oct 22, 2016 5:05 pmhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42274#42274Account Closurehttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42272#42272

The process to remove the Starter account characters is enabled.<br />
At the current rate the above noted level 20 characters will be purged in about 24 more days.<br />
After that phase two will start and will purge level 20 characters who have not been seen since patch 5.4.8 (the last patch before Warlords) and who are not listed as in a guild.<br />
If guild listed then they can't be starter account characters.<br />
Phase two will remove another 564 thousands characters.<br />
This phase will take around 30 to 40 days to process.<br />
<br />
There will probably be a phase three on level 20 characters who are not in guild probably cutting off with Legion pre-patch date... or maybe not, to be determined.<br />
<br />
These phases have and will control the history growth and allow me to insure that we do not need to purge active character history data.<br />
<br />
We were all very unhappy when that happened.<br />
<br />
History data. <br />
Some time later this year, probably after phase two, history data will be purged but other then seeing the total number of records dropping, no one will see any change in their characters history.<br />
<br />
I have determined that as of this date, about 21% of all history records are zombies.<br />
I call them zombie records because while the history is there, the basic character data no longer exists.<br />
This was mostly caused by the data corruption that occurred when Cyrillic names slipped in past the character set limits.<br />
Although I expect some of these zombies have been around for a very long time.<br />
Using the same slow (low impact process) that is clearing out unwanted characters, the history records will probably take a number of months to clear out.<br />
<br />
The outcome of this will be that the data will be cleaner and have less garbage taking up space.<br />
Metalbeast will not feel the need to do a Broad-Axe melee attack on the tables, and we will all be happier about the character and character history recording.<br />
Some time next year when all of this is done a short site outage will happen to reconfigure the history data tables.<br />
There are eight history archive tables and a new data table. <br />
The outage will be to reallocate data from the new table into the archives as appropriate.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42266#42266bringoutyourdeadTue Sep 20, 2016 11:09 pmhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42266#42266Delayed updateshttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42265#42265

I don't want to put more on your list BOYD, or mBeast for that matter ... <span style="font-style: italic">but</span> (haha) ... it'd be kinda cool to get an optional, opt-in verbose message like this in your recent uploads list... like a little submission note for each .lua upload... <br />
For the curious ones like me who want to know the latest on what's going on in their server! ^-^<br />

I really don't need something like this though, it'd be neat and something I would stare at for a good minute and think. 'Hey, I helped!'

I have been doing more log and input file scanning.<br />
<br />
There are two different error notes that sometimes pop up in the upload processing log.<br />
Bad LoginServer, this indicates your region can not be determined.<br />
This is part of the [INFO] section of your data file.. but do not bother checking, since it is almost certainly in your file correctly.<br />
The problem is that the structure of the CensusPlus_database table where all are interesting data lives is corrupt.<br />
<br />
If you have a member account, you can check your upload history, if you are seeing status E over and over again... you need to do what I posted above.<br />
<br />
The other error that very rarely pops up is Bad Date =&gt; blank Year:2016<br />
This shows that for a character the date data is missing.<br />
<br />
I just finished scanning an EU-Dalaran Alliance section of an anonymous upload where line 132,768 (ouch my head hurts) had an entry for 'name_redacted' with no other information.. no level, guild, or date!<br />
Unlike the above error only the character without data is impacted and the remainder of the upload is processed.<br />
<br />
Oh by the way.. 'name_redacted' is a joke.. as I had closed the upload file and can not remember the character name.<br />
This bad data should go away for that uploader then next time he/she captures the same character and gets the data correctly stored.http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42258#42258bringoutyourdeadThu Sep 08, 2016 5:18 pmhttp://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42258#42258Am I correct in remembering (battlegrounds)http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42257#42257
